2018 Crack Filling Program Starts In Battle Creek

The City of Battle Creek’s work has begun to fill in cracks on some city roads.

The City says that the crack fill program is designed to prevent cracks in the pavement from spreading, in an effort to extended the life of recently-treated roads for about two or three years. Crews will be out during the day as of May 7, filling in the cracks with a cold liquid asphalt; the work is expected to finish by May 18.

Roads will remain open, but you might see lane shifts and delays. You're asked to proceed slowly when workers are present.
